Easy Sandwich Wrap Ideas
When I want something more filling than a basic sandwich, I usually reach for sandwich wraps. I've packed them for my kids at every age because they're easy to hold, easy to customize, and simple to bulk up for bigger appetites. The lunch wrap combinations are endless, and they work especially well for teens who need a more filling lunch.
These are some of the wraps I've packed most often over the years.
How to Pack School Lunch Wraps
Wet ingredients next to the tortilla will make your wraps soggy. To avoid this, don’t use too much dressing and keep wet foods like cucumber and tomatoes away from the tortilla. Lettuce leaves, cheese, and deli meats are easy additions that work as a barrier, helping keep your wraps intact until lunch.
Along with folding the wrap tightly as I explain in this video, pack it in a sturdy lunch container, whole or in halves, where it fits well and has not much room to move around.
Yes. Assemble the wrap, place it in a sturdy lunch container, and refrigerate overnight. I recommend slicing it in half in the morning to keep the filling from being exposed and drying out.
